Living Music™ Workshop

Find your unique musical voice!
 
Find clarity of purpose and balanced emotion through Living Music. Use your voice, use an instrument, use your body. Build upon your existing musical practice or become a musician for an afternoon and begin to discover a new relationship with music, for life.

Through structured improvisation in a group setting, we will create music that is uniquely powerful to you. Incorporating core aspects of mindful meditation this will be a guided experience for beginners paired with innovative techniques for those more familiar with music making. No musical experience necessary. 

Building on 25 years of study, violinist Tyler Carson had a profound shift while recently traveling in India. There he discovered how to receive music and play through the heart, creating a profoundly transformative sound. This experience led to a combining of musical styles and practices, creating a entirely new genre, Living Music. Discover the benefits Living Music can have for you as a player and listener!



For all music workshops: 

Please bring your instrument of choice. This can include voice! 
In preparation, we invite you to consider the role that music has played in your life and how you might hope for it to be a part of your life in the future. Or another way to ask, what is your relationship to music and how might you like it to grow?

Movement & Living Music™ Workshop

Find freedom through movement!

Dancing to live music we bring a special kind of awareness to our body’s connection with our thoughts and emotions. In a friendly, down to earth group we will explore how to move our body with intention and presence, and find how this can bring more joy and peace into our daily activities ~ especially the tough moments. Practices are gentle on the body and suitable for all movement ability levels. 

Intuitive dancer Maya Carson will lead simple practices that can dramatically enhance how we can use our own bodies to experience the power of music. Whether you've been dancing all your life or are only known to tap a toe, Maya's presence and grace will inspire you and open the door to another way of being with music. 

We will be supported by live solo violin called Living Music™ provided by Tyler Carson and created specifically to support the energy of the group moment by moment! 


For all movement workshops:

Please wear clothes you can comfortably move in. 
In preparation we invite you to consider the role dance has had in your life, and how you might like to deepen your connection to your body. How can music play a role in deepening this connection?

Music to me is the result of a process.... the result of a process - that has nothing to do with music. Keith Jarrett
